In the old days in pubs one gambled heavily on this antique racecourse.
By pulling the handle the horses would 'run around in circles', the horse that would end up stopping the closest to the finishing pole was the winner. The person that made the bet was able to take off with loot.
This stunning piece of antique is in an original condition, it is a true collectors item.
The mechanism still works perfect.
